Column: Elementary school having craft fair

This is a little late, but January was School Board Recognition Month. It is not too late to recognize each one as they have had to make some important decisions during our inclement weather. So our sincere thanks to each member along with Superintendent Bob Storer, staff and faculty for striving to keep our students and employees safe.

Congratulations and our support to Paula Jolley, who has been appointed to the Commissioner's Local Board Advisory to represent Walton-Verona Independent Schools, our region and state. I am sure she will represent us well.

If you would like to show your appreciation to Walton-Verona school board you may send notes to 16 School Road, Walton, KY 41094 or e-mail WVDist@wv.kyschools.us.

The Walton Verona Class of 1958 enjoyed its monthly luncheon at the Family's Main Street Restaurant last week. Those members getting together were Jean Phipps, Louise Reynolds, Eleanor Baker, Ora Scott and their special guest, Coleen Shields.

Long time friends, Don Rice, Nolan Cole and Dennis Glacken got together this past week for breakfast at Bob Evans.

Coreta Cheesman was showered with birthday cards last week, receiving more than 50 cards. I know she enjoyed each and everyone. Coreta was very deserving as she remembers many people by sending cards, especially those that are sick.
